| Summary | "Beggars on Horseback; A Riding Tour in North Wales" by Martin Ross and E. Œ. Somerville is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the adventures of two women, Miss O’Flannigan and her unnamed companion, as they embark on a riding tour through the scenic landscapes of North Wales. The narrative promises to blend humor and observational insights into the quirks of travel, the characters they encounter, and the challenges of their journey. The opening of the book introduces readers to the characters’ preparations and the amusing interactions they have with locals in Welshpool, where they acquire ponies for their journey. The dialogue is rich with comical undertones, illustrating the cultural exchanges and misadventures as they navigate through the town. As Miss O’Flannigan and her companion begin their ride, they face the sweltering summer heat, initial misgivings about their steeds, and the chaotic excitement of venturing into the wilds of Wales. This charming beginning sets the stage for a humorous exploration of the challenges and delights of travel, hinting at the memorable experiences and reflections that will undoubtedly unfold on their journey.
